Question below about the details of what conservative Democrats or liberal Republicans might believe, etc. I decided to look for a few questions. I removed Independents because their sample sizes are a bit smaller. I clustered all those with socioeconomic status 17-47 as “Low” and those from 47-98 as “High.” Again, I limited the sample to whites & the years 1998-2008.
